Well yes, Kabir Khan has had his share of meetings with Ranveer to play
Kapil Dev in his 1983 World Cup film. If all goes well, it will be none other
than the Bajirao Mastani actor who will play India’s skipper.
When contacted, Ranveer Singh’s spokesperson told SpotboyE.com: “It’s
too early to confirm anything with regards to Ranveer Singh playing Kapil Dev.
An announcement will be made by the production house as and when everything is

The film in question is supposed to be produced by Phantom Films. Madhu
Mantena is very close to the cricketers (his wife Masaba is Sir Vivian
Richards’s daughter). And he will apparently take the official rights from the
players involved in the unforgettable India vs West Indies 1983 final at
Lord’s.

distributors, led by Narendra Hirawat, landed up at Galaxy Apartments, to meet
the superstar with his father, Salim Khan. Reason- the distributors in question
had suffered a big dent owing to Tubelight’s crash at the box-office. They
were joined by Aman Gill (Business Consultant, Salman Khan Films) and Amar
Butala (Chief Operating Officer, Salman Khan Films).
